A
cute junior high school student, Shinobu is perhaps the most innocent girl. She
is in her stages of maturing, and is just learning about the necessities of
life. Her parents were divorced, which outlines the tragedy of her life in
episode 2. She decides, with the consent and words of Keitaro, to stay at Hinata
Inn. She does all the housework, and is indeed a handy girl to have around the
Inn. She is considered one of the children, and quickly makes friends with Sara
and Su as they find secret passages hidden within Hinata Inn. And being that
way, she is still growing up, and occasionally has some emotional problems that
she has to face. Love Hina portrays Shinobu as a servile, obedient, young teen
in her early stages of transcending to adulthood, who has a lot to learn about
life.

**Spoiler**

She
does indeed have some likes for
Keitaro, along with many of the other Hinata
girls. Gradually as episodes progresses, more and more girls have a little like
for
Keitaro, but all are very passive about it. She even rejects a guy's
confession to hook up w/ her in the Spring Special.
